The road of life consists of a long trail of Endings and Beginnings.  As we travel this road, we are often so focused on reaching the finish line of an Ending or setting our sights on the next new Beginning that we often overlook another important segment of the road.  A segment that connects the Endings and the Beginnings.  I like to call this segment the “In Between.”

Compared to celebrating a long-awaited Ending or embarking upon an exciting new Beginning, the period of “In Between” can seem boring and mundane.  Some might even wish to be able to fast forward through this phase to experience the promises a new Beginning has to offer.  However, this period should not be ignored as the “In Between” is where life truly happens.

The “In Between” is where memories are made, lessons are learned, relationships develop and grow.  It provides the cushion of time needed to be able to reflect upon and process previous experiences and prepare for future ones.  It is a place that offers the solitude and silence required to be able to dive deep and connect with that still, small voice, the One that offers rest, guidance and hope.  The “In Between” should not be ignored, but savored.

Strive to live and not simply exist during your time in the “In Between.” Don’t wish it away or waste it.  Enjoy it and make it count.

Remember the past. Look forward to the future.  But don’t forget to make the most of the moment.
